I wonder how daredevil could fix his problem with kingpin threatening his loved ones and basically living the good life in jail? Oh, kill him? This is why I've always loved Frank the best. Sometimes 2 to the brain is the only way to solve a problem like Fisk.

Great rant.

Well considering Matt is not 100% blind either.... Also, with Daredevil many groups of blind individuals have praised the comic and show because it shows that blind people are capable of doing more than what people thing.

Yeah Foggy is less retarded this season. But his and Matt's obsession with never killing anyone really causes them a lot of needless problems. There's zero logic to Matt wanting to take down Punisher.

Fisk with another great performance, through 10 episodes, just wanted to pop in and give the man props

Changed my earlier opinion about Elektra. Her storyline picked up after episode 7.

Murdock not being perfect is good for the show. Having heroes that always make the right decision has gotten old. In his mind, him not killing the criminals is the only thing that separates him from the criminals. Punishers method gets the job done and is more effective in the long run but he is quickly losing all of his humanity at the same time. I love how the characters are being depicted. You can poke holes in all of the characters.



Spoiler for those who haven't finished season 2.
At first I wondered why Fisk released the Punisher, but it was actually a smart move. While Fisk is safe in prison, the Punisher will be clearing the streets of all his competition. Brilliant move.

He said exactly that when explaining to Castle why he was helping him get out.

Just finished S2, it was awesome. It threw a lot of stuff at you but they pulled it off well. I'll watch the season again but I think I liked S1 a little more. Had a better balance of drama, action and atmosphere. Slower burn and had a layer or two less so it moved at more singular pace. I liked the Punisher and Elektra, but the show is at it's best pitting Daredevil/Murdock against Fisk. D'Onofrio's performance and character is awesome.

Yeah I like how human he is and how he is not above taking a beating. The same is true for Fisk in that he is not all evil and can be humane in his own way at times.

Just saw this acapella version of the theme song, pretty funny. LINK

So that was the Blacksmith (Which I'm guessing is the Colonel, even though they didn't explicitly state that) and his crew that took out Reyes and the medical examiner, and obviously almost Karen right?

I liked that reveal also because it sort of came out of left field unless you really started to wonder why Corporal Schoonover became involved in this season

A few general thoughts:

1. Do these people ever sleep, especially Murdock? Ole boy is Daredevil all night then works his cases all during the day.

2. Bernthal was spot on as Frank Castle, I don't see any weaknesses with that part, other than giving him more depth through his own series.

3. I most identify with Foggy. I hope he gets it in with the hot blonde friend, but he seems stuck in the friend zone.

4. Will season 3 come out next year?

You mean stuck in friends with benefits zone?

Finished watching Season 2 last night.
I liked season 2 more than season 1. I'd agree i didn't care for Eletkra at first, but now i'm looking forward to finding out more about her.
Loved the Punisher.

I thought Daredevil got his arse beat a lot less this season and he was more of a badass the further along this season went. Season 1, i found myself saying, "this guy is supposed to be a superhero? guy gets his arse beat to almost death everytime"

The fight scenes in this season were great.

I like how they started showing Fisk's strength. Guy was benching well over 500lbs in the prison.

One thing i did not care for was Karen and Matt's relationship trying to move forward. Just could care less about it, and it wasted screen time to me. They spent like 5 minutes trying to decide to kiss at her doorstep and whether or not he should go up and bang her pasty arse.

I think this season really set up the next season to be even better and I can't wait for it.

How about that Luke Cage teaser at the end?
"I'm really tired of having to buy new clothes all the time"

To be honest, i'd rather they not have him have his own show. just stay within the JJ storyline.
I find it a bit retarded that Daredevil did all of this this year without the help of the two people with super strength that pretty much can't be hurt living down the street from him, not too mention the plethora of other superheros in New York, but it's a comic book story. Get used to it.
It's like when i watch Arrow and say, "you know, if they'd just call Barry he'd zoom over here and take out these bad guys in the blink of an eye and this episode would be over"

I watched 10 episodes yesterday, will probably finish the season tonight. I didn't want to turn it off last night. It's damn good.

Bernthal exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations. The character is awesome, I just never liked the actor. He seems to have went all in on it though.

Elektra seemed to perfectly capture the essence from Man Without Fear. The batshit craziness of her actions and the effect she has on Matt. The actress nails it too I think.

A lot of good things about this series 10 episodes in.

Finished season 2.

Overall impression: Really liked it a lot.

[Spoilers]


Pro: Punisher is bad arse. Great fight scenes. Elektra is hot. So is Karen Page. I think they introduced a lot of parts and somehow pulled it off.

Cons: The trial was absolutely the worst television trial i have ever seen. They didn't even give Frank Castle time to have his face unpulverized? They gave his defense firm a week to work together 30+ murder charges? The whole part Matt did when treating him as a hostile witness isn't how that works. He just testified directly to the jury at that point. No objections from DA on that?

Daredevil season 2 was a mixed bag with uneven storytelling that overall felt a little too crowded.

It would have been better if the Punisher story had been wrapped up earlier or left him in prison.

It lacked the focus of season 1.

I still loved it, but its 7.5/10 for me.

That fight scene in the stairwell with the bikers was top notch. The long panning shots were well done, sort of the anti Bourne shaky cam
